Come along and play with fire as part of FLAME Festival and learn how to create your own bezel set sterling silver jewellery.

In this fun silver jewellery workshop you will create a sterling silver bezel setting for a ring, pendant or earrings. You will be going home with a unique piece of wearable art that you have hand crafted yourself. What could be more awesome?!

In the morning part of the session you will create a sterling silver ring band using basic silver smithing techniques.

After lunch, you will learn more advanced silver-smithing techniques to set a flat backed cabochon or piece of seaglass into a hand shaped silver bezel. Your silver setting can then be added to your ring or turned into a pendant or earrings before completing the final set and polish.

Silversmithing techniques learnt in this session include hand sawing, forming, soldering, bezel setting, burnishing and polishing.

All materials are provided, including silver and worksheet. A selection of cut cabochons and natural sea glass will be available for you to choose from, or bring your own special piece to set.

Lunch is provided. Please advise dietary requirements.

Please tie long hair back, wear closed shoes and bring your reading glasses if you need them.
